1. The successful results achieved by co-operation in other countries, and in New Zealand, notably by " The Farmers' Co-operative Association of Canterbury, Limited." 2. The obvious advantage of an agency of which the subscribing producer or consumer shall be not merely client but proprietor. These and other considerations induced the promoters to invite subscriptions from the public in town and country. ADVANTA GFS of the ASSOCIATION The Association, is projected at the instance of Farmers and Producers ge neraly, in order to secure to them by co operation, the benefits of interchange which have hitherto gone to the merchant and distributer alone. By cooperation in the formation of the Association the farmer, the dairyman, the fruit-grower, the saw-miller and flax-miller, the wool-grower, other pro ducers, and the Shareholders generally may sell their produce, and buy what they severally consume, in the most favorable markets.

The profits of the Association, after payment of expenses, will belonjr to and be distributed amongst the Shareholders. Subscribers will thus obtain for produce the full Market value in the Markets of the World subject only to payment of expenses, and a certain fixed per centage in order to enable the Association to pay a dividend not exceeding seven per cent on capital. On the other hand they will obtain goods at wholesale prices. The Association will collect and supply to {Shareholders prompt and disinterested information as to the state ef and advantages offered by the various niarkets.throughout the world. The Association will seek t» ally itself with othep£indfed institutions, and so by cost of agency in Home and Foreig&sMarkete reduce coat, while increasing efficiency to Shareholders. The profits wL/the Association, after payment to Shareholders of a dividend not exceeding seven per centum upon the amount of the paid up capital, will be divided amongst the Shareholders according to the amount of business doie by each or otherwise as may be from time to time by a majority of shareholders at any general meeting determined.

In allotiug the shares, the Directors trill have regard to prioirtj of application and not more than 100 shares will be alloted to any one person. In submitting an Association of this character to the public it is only necessary to say that it is in no sense a speculative undertaking. The experiences of similar enterprises in the Colony have shown them tu be not only dividend paying, but productive of many collateral advantages to the Producer; minimising as they do all charges, they necessarily compel merchants and ship-owning firms to lower to a reasonable point their rates of profit, commissions, ir eights, &c. The fact that the JNew Zealand Farmer's Association of Canterbury (Christchurch), last year had a total profit of £10,804 5s 5d to distribute, and that the Canterbury Farmers' Association (Timaru), and other similar Associations are all in a most satisfactory financial condition, speaks for itself as to the safety of the capital to be embarked.

The central position of the City of Wellington and it 3 mastnifbent capacity tor the chean distribution of products to all parts of the world, marks it out prominently as the natural centre for the present Company's operations. The recent connection of the City with Napier on the East Coast, and New Ply mouth on the West Doast, by through lines of railway, will enable the settlers in these districts to share equally in the advantages, which will accrue to shareholders in the Wellington Provincial District from having at their door the beßt and cheapest Harbor in the Colony as a distributing centre. TiiE OBJECTS
